Peter Jones Special Events announced as Dreamtime 2013 events agency

Peter Jones Special Events has been confirmed as the event management company for Dreamtime 2013, Tourism Australia’s signature event for demonstrating Australia’s capabilities as a business events destination.

Dreamtime 2013, which will be held over five days from 9 to 13 December, will see Australia host around 100 influential international business events decision buyers and media.

As one of Australia’s leading event management companies, Peter Jones Special Events will bring the event to life, helping to inspire corporate meeting and incentive decision makers to choose Australia for their next event.

“Dreamtime is an opportunity to showcase why Australia is an ideal business events destination to international buyers from markets such as China, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, New Zealand, North America and the United Kingdom,” Mr McEvoy said.

“With Melbourne as host city, Dreamtime 2013 provides the Australian industry with a chance to demonstrate the capacity for the city and the country to host both large scale and more intimate events and to provide experiences that cannot be replicated anywhere else.”
